Study: Dallas-Fort Worth’s awful roads aren’t costing drivers as much as they used to. But it’s still a lot.

Tomorrow morning at 10 Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport, D.C.-based transpo-studying nonprofit TRIP will release the latest version of its ever-popular report Future Mobility in Texas: The Cost of Meeting the State’s Need for Safe and Efficient Mobility, which, per its a.m. invite, “analyzes road and bridge conditions, traffic congestion, economic development, highway safety, and transportation funding in Texas.” We’ll post as soon as it’s released. You can read it while you’re stuck on, say, LBJ.

This much we do know in advance: “TRIP’s report finds that Texas drivers lose a total of $23.2 billion each year as a result of driving on roads that are congested, deteriorated or lack some desirable safety features.” Which is higher than 2010′s $22.6 billion — which broke down to $1,969 per Dallas-Fort Worth driver. Tomorrow’s report will contain slightly better news.

TRIP’s Carolyn Bonifas tells The News this morning that DFW’s figures are actually on the decline: The new DFW average is $1,543.

“That’s when you take into account three factors,” she says. “First, there’s total vehicle operating costs — the way the deteriorating roads beat up your vehicle. And there’s the cost of congested roadways — how much fuel you waste. And then there’s the cost of traffic crashes, especially where roadway environment may have been a contributing factor, insurance, etc. — strictly financial costs.”
